Homemade cranberry sauce is crazy easy to make. I mean it. It is stone cold simple. This cranberry sauce elevates the traditional version with the addition of fragrant orange zest and juice, ginger, and warm spices.

Not your grandma's cranberry sauce: sweet (but not cloyingly sweet), tart (but not mouth-puckering tart), and just a little out of the ordinary. The heat of the jalapeno has kick, but accomplishes is with subtlety and finesse...like a ninja.
